In the HERCULES trial, pembrolizumab with platinum-based therapy showed promising safety and efficacy in the treatment of penile squamous cell carcinoma.

Darolutamide delays time to progression from mHSPC to mCRPC vs placebo while also increasing overall survival benefit.

Apalutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy does not appear to negatively impact quality of life in patients with recurrent prostate cancer, while still improving progression-free survival.

Combination therapy with nivolumab and gemcitabine-cisplatin showed promising results in treating metastatic urothelial carcinoma with significantly improved overall survival and progression-free survival rates.

Combination nivolumab and nab-paclitaxel may be a safe and effective treatment for patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

Regarding safety, the investigators did not observe any grade 3 or 4 adverse events during the study.

“Belzutifan plus cabozantinib continue to show durable anti-tumor activity in patients with clear cell RCC who are treatment naïve or previously treated,” said Toni K. Choueiri, MD.

Real-world data hint that darolutamide may lengthen time to treatment discontinuation and more, in patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Pembrolizumab generated antitumor activity in patients with BCG-unresponsive, papillary high-risk non–muscle-invasive bladder cancer, according to cohort B of the phase 2 Keynote-057 trial.

At the final analysis of the ARAMIS study, darolutamide reduced the risk of death by 31% compared with placebo in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

In an interview with Targeted Oncology, Ashley Ross, MD, PhD, discussed his recent advanced in prostate cancer, research around prostate cancer genomics, PET for staging and for identification of local disease, and more.

The combination of enfortumab vedotin plus pembrolizumab led to a confirmed overall response rate of 64.5% in patients with metastatic urothelial cancer.

Perioperative nivolumab in patients with RCC, at high risk for recurrence, did not see an improved RFS, but analyses within the phase 3 trial could inform future research.

Reduced risk of metastatic progression and improved overall survival seen with darolutamide in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Updated findings from the phase 3 KEYNOTE-564 trial may further support adjuvant pembrolizumab as a new standard of care for patients with renal cell carcinoma with high risk of recurrence.

In a subgroup analysis of the ARAMIS study, the safety and efficacy of darolutamide were not impacted by patients having comorbidities and receiving concomitant medications.

Darolutamide has shown an impact on local symptoms in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. One of the impacts was a delay in time to HRQOL deterioration.

In men with de novo metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer treated in the phase 3 PEACE-1 study, the addition of abiraterone acetate and prednisone to androgen-deprivation therapy and docetaxel improved radiographic progression-free surviva.

Disparities in prostate cancer care have been highlighted through a study examining genomic profiling.

The protocol of pembrolizumab in combination with gemcitabine and concurrent hypofractionated radiotherapy for muscle-invasive bladder cancer demonstrated safety and efficacy.

In patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer treated in a phase 1/2a study, the HPN424, a tri-specific half-life extended prostate-specific membrane antigen-targeting T cell engager was well tolerated and demonstrated antitumor activity.

In patients with advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma, a phase 1b/2 umbrella platform study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of experimental combinations of investigational agents.

A molecular signature has been identified that can characterize long-term responders from treatment with apalutamide and androgen deprivation therapy in patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, according to findings, presented at the 2021 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium.

Apalutamide in combination with androgen deprivation therapy led to a reduction in the risk of death of 35% in comparison with ADT alone for patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer in a final analysis of the phase 3 TITAN trial.

In patients with nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC), crossover from placebo to darolutamide (Nubeqa) appeared have minimal impact on the overall survival (OS) benefit observed with the androgen receptor inhibitor in the pivotal phase 3 ARAMIS trial.

The co-primary end points of overall survival in patients with metastatic urothelial cancer were not met in the phase 3 DANUBE trial of durvalumab in combination with tremelimumab and durvalumab monotherapy, according to results presented at the 2020 ESMO Virtual Congress.

At 4 years of follow-up, nivolumab and ipilimumab in combination as first-line therapy of advanced renal cell carcinoma demonstrated durable benefit versus sunitinib, according to research presented at the 2020 ESMO Virtual Congress.
